Two-age Sojourner Meredith Kline, the two realms, and why we're back
Jul 16, 2026
Three friends restart informal theological conversation about Meredith Kline's continuing influence, especially for church‑state reading and patristic interpretation. They unpack a two‑register cosmology of visible and invisible realms and survey why diverse spiritualities are resurging. They sketch a 'study hall' alternative to conferences and seminary, and preview upcoming conferences and future topic threads.

Episode notes
Podcast As Dining Hall Table
- The hosts aim to recreate the feel of sitting at a dining-hall table talking theology, inviting listeners to 'buzz in' and out.
- Michael describes the podcast as casual, long-form conversations rather than polished lectures.
Kline's Method Over Conclusions
- Meredith Kline's method matters more than his conclusions for reading Scripture faithfully today.
- André and Michael say Kline's typological, covenantal hermeneutic echoes patristic reading and protects against simplistic shifts in theology.
Typology As A Protective Framework
- Kline's typology acts as a protective interpretive framework that resists wholesale abandonment of core biblical vision.
- Michael reports Kline's exegetical, 'rootsy' vision constantly serves as a fallback when specific doctrinal answers are unclear.
